Me Coffee, a café where entrepreneurs can brainstorm and talk, started operation on Oct 8, liangjiang.gov.cn reported.

Unlike ordinary cafés, Me coffee not only sells coffee but also offers one-stop services to small and micro entrepreneurs.

"I can now talk with my business partners in a cozy atmosphere at We Coffee, " said Li Wei, an entrepreneur in Liangjiang New Area.

The café regularly hosts various activities such as innovation salons and entrepreneur sharing sessions. For instance, an investment sharing meeting was held at the end of September for innovators and angel investors to meet and explore opportunities.

The café aims to be a hub for small and micro companies and to serve as a bridge between entrepreneurs and investors. Liangjiang New Area now has seven similar cafés, all serving start-up entrepreneurs. Market segmentation is expected in the future which means these cafes will focus on different industries such as mobile internet, hotels and home appliance services.
